How long will all of you attack a man
    to batter him,
    like (A)a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
They only plan to thrust him down from his (B)high position.
    They take pleasure in falsehood.
(C)They bless with their mouths,
    but inwardly they curse. Selah

For God alone, O (D)my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.

How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(A) this tottering fence?
Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.[a](B)

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;(C)
    my hope comes from him.
